OCZ opened their CES 2012 tally by unveiling a new member of
their SSD lineup. Dubbed Lightfoot, the new OCZ SSD comes with a twist –
it uses Thunderbolt as its only connectivity option.
You remember the Thunderbolt technology,
right? Cool, because this OCZ is utilizing it perfectly by combining
its high transfer speeds with the great write/read speeds of Solid State
Drives.
The speeds we are talking about here go up to 750MB/s according to
the OCZ specs and we are inclined to believe that those are achievable.
The Lightfoot will come in different storage capacities ranging from
128GB, through 256GB and 512GB. A 1TB version should be on its way, too.
The Thunderbolt technology features really low latency and accurate
time synchronization, which makes it perfect for Audio/Video editing
from source files stored on the external drive. Unfortunately, there’s
no official word on the Lightfoot SSD’s pricing, but we suspect it won’t
come cheap. Source | Via
